The making of "The triangulations of Baby Minto" for Vintage Futurism, Kofie One

I always dig it when an artist shows their creative process for the curious.
Kofie One is dope.



Having never gone the art school route and not having anyone to introduce me to different creative processes, I really love seeing how people work creatively. I know there's some people that are scared of imitators or getting their process ripped off but for real if you got your style tight then you don't need to worry about 'secrets' or copy cats.
Behind the scenes also isn't for everybody. I remember reading about two different schools of symphony patrons, those who enjoy watching the orchestra warm up/tune up before the performance and those who feel it's unprofessional and only wish to see the finished product. Sometimes the behind the scenes can ruin an overall effect, render it less spectacle. You want to be awed and not bothered with the technicalities.
For me though, I love seeing the human hand in things, at least in the things I'm passionate about.
